Gareth Frank Bale (born 16 July 1989) is a Welsh footballer who plays for English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Wales national team as a winger.
Bale began his professional career at Southampton, playing at left back, earning acclaim as a free kick specialist. Since transferring to Spurs in 2007, managerial and tactical shifts have seen him transform into a more offensively-oriented player. Recently, Bale has played an integral role in Tottenham's success domestically and in the Champions League.
Bale was born in Cardiff to parents Frank, a school caretaker, and Debbie, an operations manager; he attended Eglwys Newydd Primary School at Whitchurch. He is the nephew of former Cardiff City footballer Chris Pike. It was while at this school he first came to the attention of Southampton at age nine, when he was playing in a six-a-side tournament with his first club, Cardiff Civil Service Football Club. Growing up his football hero was fellow Welshman and Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs.
The whistling gypsy came over the hill,
Down to the valley so shady,
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
Ah de doo, ah de doo dah day,
Ah de doo, ah de day dee,
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
She left her father's castle gates,
She left her own fond lover,
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover
Ah de doo, ah de doo dah day,
Ah de doo, ah de day dee,
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
"He is no gypsy, my father," she said,
"But lord of these lands over,
With him I'll stay till my dying day,
And follow the gypsy rover."
Ah de doo, ah de doo dah day,
Ah de doo, ah de day dee,
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
